Field Employee Development Trainer

Overview

The Field Employee Development Coach supports, guides, and develops Sure Steel’s field employees and field leaders through structured training delivery, ongoing coaching, and hands-on implementation support. This is the person who takes the Learning & Development team’s content into the field and ensures it is actually taught, adopted, and applied.

The role works closely with field leadership and employees, with an initial focus on foremen and construction managers, expanding over time to new hires, apprentices, and employees progressing toward full competency in their roles. It blends training delivery, one-on-one coaching, process education, and relationship building. The ideal candidate is first and foremost a teacher — a strong communicator and adaptable instructor who is comfortable working across job sites, trades, and field environments.

This role will continue to evolve as the L&D department grows.
